Land and Lordship: Structures of Governance in Medieval Austria
ISBN: 9780812281835 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Otto Brunner contends that prevailing notions of medieval social and constitutional history had been shaped by the nineteenth-century nation state and its "liberal" order. Whereas a sharp distinction between the public and the private might be appropriate to descriptions of contemporary society, such a dichotomy could not be projected back onto the Middle Ages. Focusing particularly on forms of lordship in late medieval Austria, Brunner found neither a "state" in the modern sense nor any distinction between the public and private spheres.
